- Behind me is the Amalfi Coast in Italy,
and we've been here for about 10 days.
And today I'm gonna give you a tour
of this incredible Airbnb that we've been staying in.
This is an impressive place with multiple levels to it.
This thing is up in the mountains.
We're about 20 minutes away from Sorrento
which is a beautiful city
but it's a windy long road to get to the top.
And this road, you can really only fit one car on it
and so whenever you're driving around corner,
so you gotta beat the horn
so that people know you're coming
because if you run into somebody
you have to like back up and find a spot for them.
(car rumbling)
So that's interesting.
But super private.
This is the home.
Let's start on the main level
and then take a tour throughout, so.
Italian home.
(bright music)
The first room that we have is the dining room.
You've got plenty of chairs for a large group
because even though it's just four of us
that are staying here for this week,
you could fit many, many people inside of this house,
like three or four families and still be comfortable.
And I apologize for the echo.
There's no carpet in here.
It's tile floor, it's concrete walls.
(knuckles rapping)
Like, I mean that stuff is thick.
So dining room right here, this is the living room.
This is really the only couch that's in this place.
It's a little awkward shaped (laughs)
and it's a very small room.
So this is your gathering spot indoors.
But hopefully when you're staying here, it's beautiful.
It's sunny outside and you spend most of your time outdoors
'cause that's really what this house is meant for.
We spent a lot of time inside of here
because during our stay
it happened to be 50 degrees Fahrenheit
and rainy for a lot of it.
And so we just kind of hung out.
(bright music)
From the dining room,
the room that you would expect to see
is the kitchen.
This is the kitchen and one very European thing,
there is a laundry machine, washing machine
inside of the kitchen.
So, nice for when you're traveling,
you can wash your clothes in here
but then there's no dryer so you've got to air dry 'em,
put your clothes outside or somewhere
for a day or two and then they smell al fresco.
Is that Italian?
That's probably not said Italian, but it's...
I don't even know what that means.
Is it like outside, is it fresh?
I don't really know.
Very important, you have a microwave,
you've got a double sink to wash things with.
You also have wine glasses, bowls,
silverware, pots and pans.
When you're in Italy, you should be cooking yourself at home
or hire a chef to come into your house
which this house would be good for.
Very large, five garbage cans.
That's a lot different than America,
I'll tell you that much.
Since this is the main level,
let's stay on the main level
and show you everything that's here.
But let's go outside and show you a little bit of this.
This is really what you came for.
The beautiful views, big table outside.
This is where a lot of people
in the summer are going to be eating.
You have chairs out here, swinging chairs
and then you have the balcony
that looks over onto the ocean
where you have boats that are going all over.
Oh, there's one more bedroom and bathroom
that I didn't even show you on the main level.
Let's go.
This is the master bedroom that's on the main level.
It does have a king bed
a giant closet to store your clothes,
a window that looks out to the ocean that is gorgeous.
I would say the most beautiful furniture.
I mean, this is like marble
with some old antique wood on here.
Very, very nice.
And it does have its own private bathroom.
Another one of these showers that's...
You don't have much room inside of here
especially if you're a big American.
You have your own toilet, you have the fancy bidets,
a sink, a window that looks outside, and a big shower,
along with the really, really hot towel racks.
These things are hot and it feels really nice
when you get out and you throw that on.
And now let's take you up to the second level of the house,
which, here's the stairs right here,
you come up and if you're tall like me,
like, I'm hitting my head, I'm not even on the last step.
You've gotta be careful 'cause
this stuff doesn't mess around.
It's concrete.
(bright music)
The thing that I love about this one
is that it has a rope handle.
If you're falling, you're like, "Oh, no," you grab it.
But I guess that makes sense, we're near the ocean.
A lot of sailors probably stay here, probably not.
But that's kind of a theme that it has.
Same tile that's beautiful throughout this place.
You have a deck that goes out to a patio.
We'll see that in a minute.
First room is the bathroom.
This is a bathroom that has a nice window.
This is where we stayed up here, Leslie and I.
You kinda have to hunch down.
There's not much room.
To be fair, there's also a shower outside next to the pool.
And if you're here in the summer,
that's where you're gonna go.
This is the main master, which is a gorgeous room.
It does have a very large king sized comfortable bed.
You have three windows that look out
and if you need a little shade,
we've got electric storm shutters.
(bright music)
That's really nice.
If you haven't seen our video from St. Martin
when we had a beautiful house on the cliffs,
check this out.
These shutters come out of the ceiling
and lock the house down.
And this is one of my favorite parts.
Look, there's like a little gap of sunshine
in between it and then it's really satisfying at the end.
It just like locks it all up.
Watch this.
(blinds rasping)
That one had storm windows everywhere,
it's one of my favorites.
We just have it on these three windows
but it's kind of nice at nighttime
like it blackout shutters.
And then in the morning when you're ready to get up,
you have a beautiful view out the window.
In the summertime, there'd be giant yachts out there.
Maybe Jeff Bezos' billion dollar yacht will be cruising by
because all of the super fancy people
apparently come to Italy.
They come in the summer when it's more expensive.
We came kind of in the springtime when it's a little colder
but we saved a little money and it's still pretty.
Okay, the next room upstairs, two twin beds
which can confirm does fit
a six foot three tall human on the bed.
It's not bad.
You could fit an entire family upstairs.
And you do feel like you're secluded
even though you're with a ton of people
because like I said, the walls are really thick
and so you really don't hear the rest
of the people in the house.
You have your own private balcony out here.
You could look out on everything just like everywhere
but your own private balcony, but not just one of them.
You have two private balconies.
This is where we opened the video and did the intro.
But this is the upper, super, elite,
exclusive, private balcony.
Even if you don't want to go anywhere
you can just sit here and enjoy.
If you like to read books, you like to paint
this is kind of your place.
There is internet so you can chill here
and be on the internet and get some work done.
So if we ended the tour there, you'd be like,
"Wow, that's a beautiful home.
It has, what?
Three bedrooms, two different levels with three patios."
But we're gonna come out
and show you the rest of the house
that is a part of the house that we didn't even use
'cause there was just four of us.
Beautiful tree.
Look at the greenery over here.
You just have these shrubs that are going along this gate.
If you needed to and you had more guests,
you could access it from this side to come in.
But downstairs where the pool is
we have another portion of the house.
Also, by the way, this is the first sunny day
that we have encountered in nine days in Italy.
So it's kind of hard because we leave here in like an hour.
We start the long journey back home to America.
So that's another tip for you.
If you are gonna come to Italy
and you're gonna stay in this house,
do it when it's beautiful weather, when it's sunny
because when it's cloudy and rainy
you're kind of stuck inside.
And this house is meant to be enjoyed outside.
Swimming pool has the infinity edge on it.
It's got a robot that is constantly cleaning it.
Sometimes this robot cleaning vacuum tries to escape
and I feel kind of bad for him
'cause he's out here all day and night.
It's okay, little guy, you're doing a good job.
Let's just stay in the pool.
Go back down.
You have a bit of grass.
Maybe these are olive trees, I'm guessing, out here.
Some kind of fruit that they maintain and take care of.
And from here you get a great view of the entire house.
You can see the upper level up there, the main level,
and then the third level that we haven't even covered yet.
But let's go show you another outdoor feature
that you're gonna love.
Another dining table that's outside
that does have a very hard to turn lazy Susan.
And then you come around this side,
you can hire a pizza chef to come up here.
They'll coordinate it for you.
And you have a pizza oven right here.
With all the wood,
they can make woodfired grill pizza for you
and serve it right here.
And then you also have a giant bar
to serve the pizza, to serve the drinks.
- It's so nice. - It does feel so good.
It's been so long.
It really has been freezing cold
the whole time we've been here.
But if you don't want to cook on your woodfired grill,
rather than drive all the way down to Sorrento,
there are some restaurants
that are just right down the road
within less than five minutes of drive.
Our favorite one that we actually went to
three different times because the owner was awesome
and the food was so good is La Lacanda.
When you drive down the street
you're not gonna think much of it,
but then you go into these restaurants
and every night it's the same two or three employees
that own and operate the entire restaurant
and make everything with fresh ingredients.
So if you are gonna stay at this house,
please visit La Lacanda, say hi to Gregory.
He's our guy, he is the nicest guy in the world
and makes really, really good food.
And the nice thing about coming here at nighttime
if you did have a party
is that there's little light bulbs all throughout.
So the lighting is gorgeous and beautiful.
We have to come back in the summer sometime.
The last floor of the building.
We have our third king bedroom of the house so far
and it's a wide king.
Like, it almost looks like they put two beds together,
like it's a little wider than the kings
that we have back in America.
You wake up in the morning laying in bed
and you look out and you see all the trees,
you see the ocean as far as you can see,
and then you have the pool that's right there.
It's just gorgeous.
And of course your own private bathroom down here.
Very high ceilings in this one.
You've got a toilet, a bidet, the sink.
And one thing that I like,
that's how much room there is.
IF it gets too cold in there,
I just jump out of the way because, you know,
the water gets hot and cold, hot and cold.
I like to jump out of the way when it turns cold
'cause who likes that anyway?
Even tall people like me can enjoy.
And again, this is all downstairs in the basement
with the walls totally protected.
Nobody up there hears anything that's going on in here.
You can have loud music and a big party.
They don't really hear it up there.
So it really is like a separate house, like the third house.
The kitchen is even better
than the one on the main part of the house.
This refrigerator, nice LG refrigerator.
And then, one of the oddest things that I've found,
this is one of the most high tech vending machines
that I have ever seen.
You have a touchscreen
that's showing all the different drinks,
different wines that are in here.
They've already hand selected some of the best ones
based off of the area.
This one's 108 Euros right there.
And then some of them are 20, 30, $85.
Super convenient.
Really, really high tech.
Unfortunately I don't drink wine
so I did not take advantage of it.
But I appreciate the technology
and I appreciate the convenience
for those that would like to drink wine.
Oh, you're like, "Oh, is this it?
Is that the entire house?
Oh, that's good, we've got all those bedrooms."
No, there's more.
There's more bedrooms.
Well, there's one more bedroom and bathroom to be specific.
It's so quiet and peaceful inside of here.
This one, it has a better headboard, a nice lamp.
Again, you have your own private bathroom.
It's a little darker in here, but the shower is nice.
It has a different shower head, not the rain shower.
And just like every bathroom, it has the towel warmer
which I love that feature.
Why don't we have that in America?
We booked this during town.
We booked this during downtime.
So it was probably a little bit more expensive
than if you book it in the wintertime.
If you book it during the summertime.
No? - You said the wrong thing.
You said it's more expensive
to book it. - Oh, yeah.
We booked it during a season
when not as many people travel here
because the weather, it's a little bit colder.
You don't really take advantage of the pool.
But if you had three or four families or couples
and you were looking to have a big trip,
if you split that cost among all the couples,
it really isn't like you're in one house
where you hear everybody.
Every single area, the upstairs, the main level,
even the two downstairs rooms all feel super secluded
and they're private and it's quiet in there.
How is the sun coming out right now?
This is crazy.
Outdoor shower.
And I don't know,
I didn't use the outdoor shower
but I don't think anybody could see you.
Maybe from the lower level.
You could probably full on shower out here.
(bright music)
Yeah, it's actually pretty private.
I don't think anybody's gonna see you shower right here.
I mean, you probably have swimsuit on,
but if you didn't I don't think they would bother you.
I don't know that there's many Airbnbs
that get better here in Italy,
but if you do come here,
what we would recommend from our experience,
we rented a car, which was great
and we drove the entire Amalfi Coast.
It's a little stressful.
You're driving a stick shift car on the smallest road
with buses and motorcycles that are just flying everywhere.
I would recommend you go to Sorrento,
you get one of the ferries that takes you on a one day tour.
It can take you around this and it goes over to Amalfi.
You're gonna see Positano for three hours.
I probably said it wrong.
And then you get back on the boat,
it takes you to the actual city of Amalfi.
And while you're going on that ferry,
you see all of the homes
that are all up in the hill that are beautiful.
Those are all the Instagram pictures that everybody takes.
And then you get another two or three hours in Amalfi
and then it takes you on a nice shuttle back
over to Sorrento and you're good.
That's not the way we did it.
That's kind of the way that we wish that we did it.
If we were here again, that's how we would do it
because the roads are kind of brutal.
I can't believe we're leaving on this day
when it's so pretty here.
We didn't experience this kind of weather
while we were here.
It's almost like a little tease like, "Oh, well,
I guess you'll have to come back to Italy someday."
So anyway, there's our Airbnb,
one of the nicer places that I've stayed at before.
And staying in a small town away from all the touristy areas
made us feel like we got to know the local culture
a little bit better,
which is always a plus when you're traveling.
Time to head all the way back to America.
Let me know in the comments,
what did you like or not like about this house?
And is there somewhere better that you stayed in Italy
or little tips, please let me know
because I think we're probably gonna come back
and it's good to have tips from people.
All right, see ya.
This is our crew right here.
Jonathan doesn't wanna be in the video.
Everybody say, "Hi, Jonathan," in the comments.
He does not wanna be in the video.
Good point, thank you for the point.
And then this is the four people
that stayed in this entire house,
but it was really nice
and it's even nicer now that the sun just came out.
Also, they literally have the Lamborghini of mini splits.
It is a Lamborghini mini split right there.
Wow, who knew?
The art on the wall's a little strange.
I'll be honest with that.
I'll give that a three out of 10
'cause some of it's a little weird.
If there were kids here, some of them aren't the greatest
but that's also a Italy thing.
It's like you go places,
you see statues of David and all these people
that are not wearing any clothes from the past.
That's just an Italy thing.
- [Leslie] It's so beautiful right now.
I can't believe it.
Why are we leaving?
- Good point. - Ciao.
